Vietnam - Vietnamese Cuisine

Vietnamese cuisine can be a different and strange experience to those who have not had the pleasure of sampling the variety of foods. Fragrant, and often pungent, fresh herbs, spices, and sauces accompany many of the dishes which can either turn people off or create life-long fans.
